Burst Cherry Tomato Pasta

Difficulty:
1/5

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (120 ml) olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 pints (1.4 L) cherry tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon (0.75 ml) sugar
  • Salt
  • 1 pound (454 g) pasta
  • 1 cup (240 ml) basil leaves, torn
  • Grated Parmesan, to serve

 

Method:

Heat oil in a large skillet or wide heavy saucepan over medium-high.

Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Add tomatoes, pepper, sugar, and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and release their juices to form a sauce, 6–8 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl.

Toss pasta with tomato sauce and basil.

Top with Parmesan and serve immediately.
